Instructor Background:
Asa Maestas is an experienced potter and instructor. He has been working with clay since 2011 and teaching pottery for over a decade. Asa found pottery in one of the darkest times in his life. As a young teenager, he started working with clay shortly after his mother passed. Working through this medium allowed him to work through loss and suffering as well as provided a means of self-expression. As he continued to discover, his work often consisted of a variety of textures applied in a loose pattern that used the entire surface of the clay, a style that continues to be a part of his artistic expression.
Asa's passion for the art and craft of clay is a palpable part of the class. He is both a fun and educational teacher, eager to share his skill and expertise with you.
